Interislander no longer requires a vaccine pass or COVID test to travel, as of 6th April. Mask wearing is still required for all passengers and staff while in the terminal and on board, unless you are eating or drinking.

Is it too early to crack out the tinsel?🤔🎄 The team at our Picton Terminal have already set up the tree so it's time for us to get in the spirit.🐬

Proposed changes include a new wharf, an upgraded terminal building and well-designed surrounds for parking, people and the safe movement of vehicles. Protection for the Kaiwharawhara Stream and marine environment is a big part of the work.

Where's your favourite spot in Welly to stop and take in the view? Provided it's "on a good day" of course...😅🐬 A big thanks to Johnny for sharing this epic snap of beautiful Wellington Harbour and beyond.

That's one way of getting on board😅🚁 We were glad to help out @NZAirForce and @nzpolice in their training exercise last week. It was a bit more excitement than we're used to, though.

Did you miss out on our live chat earlier this week? We talked all about the proposed updates to Wellington's ferry terminal, features of the new ships, and answered questions from viewers: youtu.be/6Vb3I0Ychk8

You can also read all about the proposed updates and have your say at wellingtonferryprecinct.co.n…
Due to a mechanical issue, Aratere is required to take an alternative route and her journey will be longer than usual.

Aratere will enter and exit Queen Charlotte Sound through the northern entrance. Hence, we expect the journey to take about 45 minutes longer than scheduled. We apologise for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience and understanding.
